Most difficult bit of a hackathon project — thinking of a name!!

• Commons Image Usage (CIU)?
• Images in Commons Category Usage (ICCU)?

As part of a planned test to check if we can reliably switch from one datacenter to the other for disaster recovery purposes, all #Wikimedia projects (e.g. #Wikipedia, #Commons, #Wikidata) will be read-only for up to an hour at 14:00 UTC!

More techy info at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Switch_Datacenter, and the general announcement can be read at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/Server_switch

Good morning fediverse! Did you attend #Wikimania?
If not, or if you missed any talks, they're all up on the @wikimediafoundation's YouTube channel :D

Another #introduction!

Hi, I'm Sammy 🦊🏳️‍🌈

I'm a software engineer who works for the #Wikimedia Foundation (the folx who host #Wikipedia) — on the Community Tech team, I help build awesome tools and extensions that the community votes for using the Wishlist Survey (https://w.wiki/_vs2E).

I'm aiming to use this account to connect with #MediaWiki developers, and give an insight into how the WMF works with the community to support their mission to build the 'sum of all human knowledge' ✨
